1 Arc Example 1 For positive arcs (clockwise reading), you can use the following diagram to help determine your beginning and ending angles. Each line of text ("Quadrant 1", etc.) is Center Justified. This 'centers' the text in between the Beginning and Ending Angles the same way a non-arced, Center Justified line of text centers between its left and right margins. For the text below, the beginning Angle Ending Angles are as follows: Quadrant 1-90 and 0 Quadrant and 90 Quadrant and 180 Quadrant and 270 Arc Example 2 For negative arcs (counterclockwise reading), you can use the following diagram to help determine your beginningning and endinging angles. Each line of text (Quadrant 1, etc.) is Center Justified. This centers the text in between the beginning and ending angles the same way a non-arced, Center Justified line of text centers between its left and right margins. For the text below, the beginning angle and ending angle are as follows: Quadrant and -270 Quadrant and -180 Quadrant and -90 Quadrant 4-90 and 0

2 Arc Example 3 The line "ARCED TEXT" is Center Justified between its Beginning and Ending Angles of -360 and -180 degrees respectively. Arc Example 4 The following example is probably the most common. The line "ARCED TEXT" is Center Justified between its Beginning and Ending Angles of 180 and 0 degrees respectively. This is considered a standard 'Bubble Up' arc.

3 Arc Example 5 This example displays a line of text extending below the horizontal plane. If it were to start and stop at the horizontal plane, it would make sense that its Beginning Angle would be 180 and its Ending Angle would be 0. Since the beginning of the line extends slightly below the 180 degree mark and the ending extends slightly below 0, we need to add (or subtract) the necessary amounts to each. Since the line is Center Justified, and appears not to be condensed (Aspect Ratio is at 100 percent or 1.000), we need to simply define the Beginning and Ending Angles evenly throughout the range of the arc. Remember that this is similar to defining Left and Right Margins for a non-arced line of text. If the length of the line does not exceed the length of the area defined by its margins (in this case, beginning and ending angles), it will NOT condense. So for this example, the Beginning Angle is 225 degrees and the ending angle is -45 degrees. To arrive at these numbers: The beginning angle should start somewhere below 180 degrees. Let's go 45 degrees below 180 degrees. If we add 45 to 180, this will give us 225 degrees, which will be our beginning angle. For the ending angle we need to go below 0 degrees the same amount as we did above (45 degrees). However, in this case we are going below 0 so we are going to subtract 45 degrees from 0 which will give us -45 degrees. For the example below, the Beginning Angle is 225 degrees and the Ending Angle is -45 degrees.

4 This example is similar to example 5, except that the beginning and ending angles are in fact different. Here the Beginning Angle is 90 degrees and the Ending Angle is -90 degrees. Remember that each line of text in each quadrant is automatically center justified between the beginning and ending angles. One last thing, to have the arc go down, that is the center of the arc lower then the ends, you must change the following:

5 Set the beginning angle to a -180
